Rob Molholm’s outlook is a pretty simple one: More is better. The more running backs he has the more success the Evergreen Cougars will enjoy.

That certainly was the case in 2010 when the Cougars went 8-3, finished second in the 3A Metro South Conference and qualified for the playoffs for just the sixth time in school history.
